Anyone read this translation or know any scholarly opinions on it? I just started reading it ("The Clouds") and it's very funny, but it is without a doing the most casual ancient Greek translation I've ever read (moreso than Fagles' Sophocles/Iliad, Fitzgerald's Odyssey, Roche's Euripedes, etc). I know the translators are renowned, especially Lattimore, but it seems like this work could have been written today.

Should I even care? Or is this the power of Aristophanes?
